Eastern Collective Textile iCables
Apple tries hard, but battery life isn't exactly at the top of the feature list for iPhones and iPads — which makes chargers a necessary and not exactly good-looking evil. Dress them up a bit with Eastern Collective Textile iCables. These handsome accessories feature a standard USB plug on one end and an Apple 30-pin connector on the other, with stylish woven designs in between, letting you charge up your iGadgets without succumbing to the tangled white cable monster.

Exovolt Plus battery pack
There are a number of situations where you might need power and be away from the mains for a long period of time. Camping? 18 hour flight? Power outage? Regardless of the specifics, some of you will not fail to notice the advantages to having something like the Exovolt Plus, an infinitely (well… not infinitely, but you know what we mean… we hope) stackable battery pack that can deliver as much power as the amount of sub-units you’re able to stack atop one another without the whole thing collapsing in on itself. You first have to buy the 5,200 mAh main battery for $89, and then you buy as many of the sub-batteries as you can afford for $50 a piece. We don’t know the capacity of the subunits, but we hope they’re in the same range as the main. It’s mostly heard to power iDevices as it comes with a 30-pin adaptor, but there’s a USB and micro-USB connector as well so it isn’t limited to that. (at Oh Gizmo!)
Pico Genie A100 iPhone Projector
What’s more important in a mobile phone: portability or a massive screen? Choose something small and portable and say goodbye to watching exciting stuff like movies, videos, holiday snaps and more. Choose a big screen and you’ll struggle to get the darn thing in your pocket. It’s a dilemma. So what do you do? Well, you could always buy bigger trousers. Or if you have an iPhone, you could clip it into the super slim Pico Genie A100 iPhone Projector. This clever oojimaflip is more than just a tough case for your precious mobile – it’s also a powerful projector, speaker and back-up battery in one. (at Firebox)

No More Device Dropping
Ever dropped your phone or e-reader? You are in an elite club if you have not. Personally, I would have to say JFK airport was my worst. I was, typing on the escalator when imbalance took over and wham! There went the smartphone, tumbling down the escalator like a slinky. Yes, expletives followed. Face it, technology is cool but we have our klutzy tendencies. FLYGRIP is a device that we should all check out to help preserve our devices. FLYGRIP’s basic principle is to extend your reach while helping secure your phone or e-reader at the same time. A spring loaded clip securely adheres to your device, or case. (at Coolest Gadgets)
Wooden Headphones
Real wood housings, soft ear cushions, a lightweight headband, and a foldable design provide beauty, comfort, and portability to seamlessly fit into any lifestyle. When it comes to audio, we all have slightly different preferences. So when everyone here at C. Crane agreed that these wood headphones sound incredible, we began to get excited. When they out performed “industry standard” studio monitor headphones, our excitement was justified. High fidelity 40mm drivers produce a surprisingly flat response, which makes them great for musical and home studio applications. The lows are solid, yet not overbearing. The upper frequencies are detailed and smooth. Superior spatial imaging puts you in the middle of the music. (at 7 Gadgets)
USB Toaster Hub and Thumbdrives
The drives themselves come in four varieties. From lightest color to darkest, there's Tato, Butta, Ry Ry, and Crisp! The hub is silver with four slots for your favorite 4 pieces of memorytoast. You can, of course, insert your own thumbdrive, but where's the fun in that? They've also thrown in an SD Card slot, so your new shiny hub can perform double-duty as a card reader! (at Think Geek)
AViiQ Quick Change Universal Dock Adapter
This cable combines a microUSB, miniUSB, and an Apple 30-pin connector into one cable. The flat ribbon cable is 5.5? long and weighs only 1.5 oz, so you won’t even notice it’s in your bag. One end has a normal USB plug, and the other has a swivel head multi-connector with the three connectors. There’s even a clip on one end of the cable so you can clip it to a pocket or your bag, just like a pen. The Quick Change Universal Dock Adapter is normally $29.99, but it’s available now for $23.99.

Richards’ Trunk Desk
Timothy Oulton designed this beautiful desk in his workshop, inspired by a worn but obviously custom-made steamer trunk. The owner had been Tom Richards, hence the name Richards’ Trunk Desk. Oulton dismantled the original luggage to learn every detail of construction, and incorporated those details into this desk. Wooden frames are wrapped in water-resistant beige hand-waxed canvas, with hammered finishing nails, aged bamboo reinforcing strips , leather handles and corner protector pieces, brass luggage latches, canvas-lined drawers – all carefully aged for an antique look.

DIY Spartan Lamp
There's elegance in simplicity, and with this DIY, multi-configuration lamp, you can decide what kind of elegant simplicity is just right for you.

With just a Phillips-head screwdriver and 10 minutes, you can put this stark stunner together just how you like, and then take it apart and do it again if you want to. The kit comes with a solid-oak base, nickel-plated stand pieces, and all the guts you need for a working light. You can pick it up for $75 and then hop right into putting the thing together. Think of it like LEGOs for design-minded adults. (at Gizmodo)
Makey Makey
The Makey Makey is a brilliantly simple way of getting anyone (young or old) excited about electronics. It contains three basic elements: the Makey Makey circuit board; alligator clips, to connect the board to everyday objects; and a USB cable, to connect with any computer. That combination allows you to transform almost anything into a “key” that tells your computer what to do, whether that’s typing a letter or controlling a game character. (at 7 Gadgets)
The Croon Audio Original
When it comes to quality table top wireless speaker systems, Android and Windows Phones are generally ignored. Makers tend to prefer building accessories for the iPhone, and with that, often support Airplay over DLNA or even Bluetooth. Enter the Croon Audio Original. This $199 tablet top speaker utilizes Bluetooth connectivity for near-universal compatibility. This gorgeous speaker should work with everything from an Android phone to a Windows notebook to a Palm Treo. Two 2.5-inch full range drivers rest behind the grill and are capable of 15w per channel thanks to a class D amp. There are dual 3.5mm jacks, one for piping audio in and the other for exporting it to another audio device. There is even a full size USB port (5V DC) for charging a device. (at TechCrunch)

DIY Old School Book Strap
First thing, cut your wool blanket material in the shape of a T. The top is 5 inches wide and 3 inches tall. The overall height is about 12 inches. This length gives you a long flap to protect your book from the buckle area. Cut your leather to a strap of 1.5 inches wide and at least 48 inches long. You can make it longer or shorter to your preference, and longer if you want a looped handle. Take both material pieces and lay them out together and apply some contact cement to one end of the strap and lay it glue up in the T. Fold the T ends to the glued center to make the pencil holders. Bring the strap back over the glue strip with the rings included. Press together and allow to dry. The glue is to keep things together before stitching and add some stiffness to the assembly. Once dry, sew everything together using some thick thread. You can sew it on a machine, or hand sew. Final step, stroll to the library with the look of a literary connoisseur. (at Like Cool)
Star Wars Chewbacca Messenger Bag
There are many things you should know about having a Wookiee as a friend. For starters, always, always, always let the Wookiee win. Put aside your pride. Take the fall in all games.

Flat Boombox by Hannes Harms
We've been enamored with Hannes Harms for a while now, but his latest design might just be his best yet: the recent RCA grad was able to "reduce material, volume and components through flat electronics" to create a flat boombox. The personal audio solution consists of a perforated sheet of acid-etched stainless steel... and apparently not much more than that, thanks to the flat speaker component. In other words, it's something like a speaker grille without a discernable driver or speaker cone. (at Core77)
SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0
SanDisk is not a name that you should forget especially when it comes to portable storage. Solid State Drives, USB flash drives, you name it, SanDisk has got it. This time around, we shall concentrate on what the flash drive department has in store for us – in the form of the Extreme USB 3.0 flash drive. Obviously, the name itself gives the game away, where it will work best with a USB 3.0 port, although you can be sure that it will also be able to work with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.
Just how fast is the USB 3.0 SanDisk Extreme USB flash drive? We are talking about data transfer speeds of up to 190MB/s, where it translates to a 3GB file being transferred in just 20 seconds, while a 40GB file takes a mere 4 minutes. You need not worry too much about the durability of the SanDisk Extreme USB flash drive, as it will have a lifetime limited warranty accompanying it with each purchase.(at Coolest Gadgets)

Wacom say that the Bamboo Splash works with both Macs and PCs, and is also compatible with Windows 8 when it ships in the Fall. (at Slash Gear)

Apple Macbook Pro with retina display
Great. Now we really have to update all the images on Uncrate. Just like the latest iPhone and iPad, the all-new MacBook Pro sports a bee-you-tee-full-clark Retina display (you know, the kind with pixels so small your eyeballs can't see 'em) that comes in at 15-inches (2880 x 1800), making it the world's highest resolution notebook display. But contrary to what you'd think, the new MacBook Pro actually sheds inches and pounds, and is now 25% thinner than the previous generation, sitting at a mere 0.71-inches. It's being called the lightest Apple pro notebook ever at 4.46 lbs. Besides all the standard stuff, the MacBook Pro packs in a quad-core CPU up to 2.7 GHz, up to 16GB of RAM, a crazy graphics card, and up 768GB of SSD storage. Plus, it's got a 7-hour battery, FaceTime HD camera, SD slot, HDMI, USB 3, Thunderbolt, and a new Magsafe power connector for the clumsy among us and those with kids. (at Uncrate)

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Camera
A huge part of image quality in digital photography is the size of the sensor capturing the moment. Unfortunately, most point-and-shoots sport measly 1/2.3" sensors that don't let in a lot of light, making higher ISO values necessary and thus introducing more noise into your image. The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Camera looks to overcome these limitations with a massive 1-inch, 20.2 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor that promises to deliver images that belie the pocket-friendly size of the camera. Other features include a fast f/1.8, 3.6x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens, a BIONZ image processor, ISO settings up to 25,600, 10 fps shooting, a 3-inch LCD display, and a built-in pop-up flash for those times when not even the larger sensor can conquer the darkness.

Floppy Disk Drink Coasters
We have a soft spot for old technology, whether it's computers, phones, or music players. Our parents warned us that this would happen, so it appears once again they were right. We're staying on the bleeding edge of technology as long as we can, but we'll wax nostalgic about cassette tapes and floppy disks so today's teenagers can roll their eyes and call us old fogies.
This set of coasters is designed to look just like the floppy disks you know and love. Even the back side is "anatomically correct," as it were. Use a Sharpie to personalize the labels for specific members of your crew if you want! These four coasters come in the three primary colors and classic black. (at Think Geek)

Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabooks with touchscreens and Windows 8
The wave of touchscreen-loving Windows 8 notebooks has begun at Computex with Acer‘s own Aspire S7 Ultrabook series. Here we’ve got both a 13.3-inch model and an 11.6-inch model with full 180-degree fold-back screens for your touch-loving pleasure!

No, this isn't a Rambo-style sling for paperbacks.

If the red LEDs of the hotel room clock aren't to your liking, pull the World Time Clock ($72) out of your bag instead for a little extra flair. The 12 sides on this clock, representing two time zones per side, help you determine local time by rolling the clock so the city representing that time zone is on top. (at World Time Clock)

The plugbook is made in the shape of a book which hides itself between your other books. When you need it, just take it out and pull the cord. Simple as that! Inside the book is 3 meter of cable. When you don’t need it anymore you press the button and the cord automatically rewinds. Just put it back on the bookshelf ready to go for next time. (at Design Spotter)

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
The 14? ThinkPad X1 Carbon from Lenovo measures 0.71? thin, so you have a better idea on just what kind of thickness it has. There is no word as to when the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon will hit the markets for sale, and neither do we have a whiff on how much the latest Ultrabook is going to cost, apart from the fact that the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon will arrive in June later this year. That would mean around a month and a half’s wait at most, and there is also a reason as to why it has the name “Carbon” inside – simply because it is made out of a Carbon Fiber chassis, resulting in the relative lightweight nature of the Ultrabook. How about its performance? Not too shabby either, as it runs off an Intel Core series processor from the latest Ivy Bridge family, and ought to have an adequate supply of RAM, the aforementioned 14? display with 1600 × 900 native resolution, at least one USB 3.0 port, Wireless-N (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth (possibly 4.0) connectivity. Something tells me this is not going to come cheap though. (at Coolest Gadgets)

HP Envy Spectre XT
Slim is definitely in – just take a look at how computer manufacturers are doing their level best to remain on par with Apple’s MacBook Air. Over the past year, we have seen Ultrabooks arrive in droves to the market, although the entry price point is still significantly higher compared to your regular notebook, the size, weight and overall design has received general thumbs up from the PC populace. Well, HP continues boarding the Ultrabook train, and has just announced the new HP ENVY Spectre XT, which is said to be an ultramobile premium Ultrabook which offers an overall premium experience with extraordinary design and performance.
Just what kind of magical qualities does the HP ENVY Spectre XT have compared to the rest of its siblings? Well, for starters, it is built with a mix of premium materials, sporting an all-metal design that boasts of stark lines which contrast with a soft texture. The HP ENVY Spectre XT measures a mere 14.5mm thin, and will tip the scales at just 3.07 pounds. What kind of hardware can be crammed into such little space?
Well, we do know that the HP ENVY Spectre XT comes with a 13.3-inch HD diagonal display with a slim bezel line, where it is also accompanied by 128GB of storage space in the form of a solid state drive, a slew of connectivity options such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and HDMI, and up to eight hours of battery life to help you remain productive no matter where you are without ending up with a sore shoulder when carrying around a desktop replacement notebook during trade shows as you traverse through the showfloor.

Not only that, this puppy also features Intel Smart Connect Technology that is capable of automatically updating email even when the notebook is in sleep mode, to make sure you are on top of things at all times.

Acer G6 LED monitro
Acer has today introduced a new line of desktop monitors, the G6 series. All of the monitors feature TN panels, are LED backlit, and have low response times of between 2 and 5ms to eliminate blurring during gaming and fast moving video. Acer is introducing six LED monitors in different screen sizes, starting at 19-inches and maxing out at 27-inches.
Resolutions will differ across the line, with the 19-inch model coming it at 1440×900, the 20-inch model slightly higher at 1600×900, and the 21.5, 23, 24, and 27-inch monitors all featuring a 1920×1080 resolution. The response time on the 19 and 20-inch models will be 5ms, with every other monitor having a slightly lower time of 2ms. Refresh rate is 60Hz for models.
Acer is claiming a 100 million to one contrast ratio for all the monitors thanks to the Adaptive Contrast Management, although we’d recommend you take those numbers with a pinch of salt as always. As for connections, you can expect to find VGA, DVI and HDMI ports, with HDCP support too for all that DRM laced video content. (at Slash Gear)

Plug Out Plug Organizers
Do you agree that at times, wires and cables seem to have a mind of their own? Well, I certainly feel that we humans ought not to lose the fight against such minor stuff like wayward cables, and look towards ways to “combat” it with items like the $7.49 Plug Out Plug Organizers. It will definitely make your whole life more organized, at least from the stay-at-home aspect, as the adhesive, silicone strips will ensure that your plugs remain near the outlet for a greater degree of convenience, while doing away with the amount of wasted electricity due to the phenomenon known as “vampire draw”.

Take a break from your work and check out just what your monitor holds behind. Apart from the standard cable that plugs into your computer’s chassis, there is also a power cable, right? Not so with AOC’s most recent 22? USB powered display. As you can tell by the name itself, this new monitor, also going by the moniker e2251Fwu if you are into model numbers and all, is an extremely slim and attractive looking LED monitor which will send/receive power as well as signal through a USB connection, delivering simple plug-and-play connectivity while introducing the added productivity benefits of dual- and multi-monitor computing.

USB Power Strip
Just like handbags and shoes are to the ladies, so too, are USB ports to the guys. At least to those of us who love our gadgets to bits. The $9.99 USB Power Strip will offer you four USB ports so that you can juice up to a trio of USB-powered devices simultaneously, without worrying about whether there are enough USB ports left available on your notebook to go around. Bear in mind that the USB Power Strip has but one purpose – that is, to charge only USB devices, and it is tiny enough to be slipped into a notebook bag without taking up too much space. Your mates will definitely want to hang out with your more during conventions, since you are the “saviour” of your mates’ devices as well when they are all low on juice. The USB Power Strip will measure a diminutive 1.1? x 4.4? x 0.75?, and you will receive either black or white shades when it is shipped to your doorstep as there is no way for you to select the color as it is assigned randomly.
